Not sure if anyone has done it before but me and two friends put a hurt on Behemoth last night. Here was our setup;

75MNK/NIN (me) 75DRK/NIN 75RDM/WHM

I wasn't sure this would work but omg we beat him pretty easy I was a bit surprised. I mean I know he is easy pray and all but still, lol. Drops sucked though only got a Thundercloud and a crystal...(wanted the tongue ;

Best thing about it was that he was uncliamed which on my server is very rare. Gonna take another shot at him today see how our luck pans out. I want my Black Belt so bad.

[byte.xi]

Adamantoise is even easier and I've seen that up unclaimed before lol

Just too bad Fafnir isn't the same huh? :cry

[Luciendarr]

What did you gear for, Scotion? I've never fought Behemoth, so I don't know where his accuracy and evasion stand. It's something I'd like to try eventually, so tips would be wonderful. And you get to make a cool story out of it.

[zhan]

It's been duoed before, it's extremly easy and trioing isn't really that much of an accomplishment, and back in my RDM days before I got banned if I could've caught an unclaimed Behemoth I'm pretty sure I could've soloed it.


But grats anyway.

[Dazd]

Behemoth can be solo'd by a decked out mnk its called hundred fists >.>.

[Scotion]

yea i have good gear i am just missing two or so engame items. here was my setup

weapon: destroyers
head: o-hat
neck: chiv chain
body: scorp +1
hands: o-kote
legs: shura
waist: brown belt
ear: mermans x2
ring: sniper x2
feet: dunes
ammo: tipia

i went with the o-hat over shura head for the extra evasion. and i used some other feet options for dodge. also the normal af body for chakra. as u see i am missing my togi and BB they r coming soon. and to dazd point hundred fists owns his ass i took care of the last 30% or so basically solo. on an average i hit him with normal attacks at around 95-100 and crits where around 150. I ate sushi but may have been able to rock meat instead. also for some reason I countered his ass often which was funny. All the rdm basically had to do was keep haste on me and paralyze behemoth here and there. I also put my mnd set on to start fight off with a good chi-blast. I only got in yellow hp once and that because my son hit the key boards so my shadows got screwed for a sec.

Aso Luc I would go with evasion. i mean my setup wasnt perfect for evasion but it did the trick. He does hit hard. He was getting me for around 120 or so per landed hit, and at times he can speed his attacks up a bit. even his stun AoE didn't hurt us at all. also when he des his blaze spike type moves it woudl only get me for 8 dam or so I think its called flame armor or something.

Also he can be duo'd I did on my pld with a nin pal back before i lvl'd mnk.

[ummhi]

THF can solo it fairly well. He doesn't really hit that hard, and as long as you evade or keep shadows up you should be fine. He has a lot of HP though... So you might wanna goof around with viable subs for both quickness in kill and survivability.

[Jehryn04]

didn't kittycatty/mithrankittycat used to solo it before?

[Dantrag]

some rdm of fairy solo'd it before D;

[Juro]

Picture of a THF that solo'd it, not me.

[grahamoo]

Yea, Behemoth is a fucking joke. People were duoing it in 2005.

[Babyorphan]

Regardless, congratulations on your defeat.
I have to sign on the fact it is/was soloable by RDM, and probably other jobs as well.
But as I said; Regardless of that, you had fun, and that is what counts. Congratulations!

Which would take it to about 80-85% >.>

How do you pull off a sneak attack while soloing behemoth?

[ummhi]

It's harder to solo cause it will eat you after 20mins

[Alistaire]

I solo claimed it on BLU once. It agroed me as I logged in so that gave me a bit of claim advantage. Held it for 20 minutes before help got there. Ended up being help from people I knew but not in ls, but was running out of mp and didn't have yag drinks so couldn't hold it much longer than that. I could do better next time, I had engaged it at first to melee off-and-on and had my npc with me, so I couldn't disengage to rest without losing claim, and my npc did more harm than good, since I couldn't disengage my npc wouldn't and she kept breaking my bind.

Was fun to get a bunch of rmt tells saying "fuck you!!!" etc. though.

Moral of the story: Blastbomb > Behemoth. If I had refresh/mp meds I could stack the occasional disseverment and probably solo it before the hour was up.

How do you pull off a sneak attack while soloing behemoth?

Stun probably. If the mob is stunned you can run behind it and SA before its unstunned. I've done it quite often when im dickin around NIN/THF since i carry 2 stun katanas. If he had a stun kukri thats probably how. Or, more than likely, sleep bolt.

Flee also works.

[Aesth]

Yo just adding, about the solo sneak attack thingy.

If you're standing on behemoths sides or back he will hit you just like dragons will, and he won't turn around, you can actually fight him from behind. Not sure if he turns around after WS's and so on tho, but still, just run around him again
